American television writer who wrote The Immunity Syndrome for the original Star Trek and returned twenty years later with story work on Home Soil and Conspiracy for The Next Generation.
Robert Sabaroff was an American television writer whose Star Trek credits span two generations of the franchise. For the second season of the original series he wrote The Immunity Syndrome, in which the Enterprise enters a zone of darkness and finds a vast single-celled organism that has already destroyed the Vulcan-crewed USS Intrepid.
He was one of several veterans of the first series to contribute to the opening season of The Next Generation. He wrote the teleplay of Home Soil, about a crystalline life form discovered on a planet being terraformed, and shares its story credit.
Sabaroff also supplied the story for Conspiracy, the tale of parasites infiltrating Starfleet Command, for which Tracy Tormé wrote the teleplay.
